"Is this... Liyue?"
Looking down at the ancient city before them, both Ying and Paimon widened their eyes.
"Specifically, this is a city called Liyue Harbor."
Jiang Mu explained with a smile.
"With the help of the three mountains surrounding the land and the Geo Archon, the people of ancient Liyue settled here and developed commerce. Through the hard work of countless generations, Liyue Harbor has achieved its current prosperity."
"It really is very prosperous..."
"That's right!" Paimon suddenly clapped his hands and said.
"I remember we met a chef from Liyue in Mondstadt before... his name was..."
"It's Xiangling!"
Ying covered her face helplessly to the side...
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Paimon nodded repeatedly.
"She also said she would take us to her family's restaurant for a meal..."
"It's Xiangling..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu nodded.
During his travels over the past few years, Jiang Mu also collected some of the special recipes and ingredients from the seven kingdoms of Teyvat, and asked adventurers to bring them back to Liyue for Xiang Ling as "experimental tools" for new dishes.
What are your plans?
On the way down the mountain, Jiang Mu looked at the two of them and asked.
"We should go check out Xiangling's restaurant first, since we promised our friend," Ying said with an apologetic smile.
"Then let's split up and go our separate ways."
Jiang Mu nodded.
Several years later, he still had to go back to Qingce Village to see how that brat Ma Yanqiao had managed his farm...
"Oh well……"
Upon hearing this, Ying nodded with some regret. After agreeing to meet again on the day of the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, she left with Paimon.
"Next..."
Jiang Mu called out in his mind, summoning Gou Dan.
"#%………………#￥#@￥￥#@"
Upon receiving Jiang Mu's summons, Gou Dan was naturally overjoyed.
Although she wasn't lonely because that despicable guy was with her there, she still preferred being with Jiang Mu to that person...
"You haven't been out for a long time either, let's go home and visit first."
Jiang Mu said with a smile.
"Uh-huh!!"
Dog Egg nodded repeatedly, and as her body floated slightly, she returned to her usual spot—Jiang Mu's right shoulder.
"Let's go..."
However, before heading back, Jiang Mu decided to take a stroll around Liyue Harbor first...
…………
"stop!"
Just as the man and Gou Dan were about to step into Liyue Harbor, a loud shout rang out like thunder.
"who?"
Jiang Mu turned around alertly to check, only to find that there were just a few Thousand Rock Army soldiers.
"Is there...something you need?"
Jiang Mu frowned slightly, looked at the group, and asked.
"Now that the Summoning Ceremony is about to be held, you have come to my Liyue Harbor alone with a demon, so naturally we must question you."
The leader of the Thousand Rock Army stepped forward, speaking to Jiang Mu, but his eyes were fixed on the Snow Maiden on Jiang Mu's shoulder.
"So they were after the Snow Woman..."
Jiang Mu understood immediately from his expression.
Previously, when Jiang Mu was touring the Seven Kingdoms, some fools had their eyes on the Snow Woman, and then...
No, they've messed with Jiang Mu, and now they want more?
Are you kidding me?
Now, this familiar scene unfolded before Jiang Mu once again, causing a wry smile to appear on his face...
"So, sir, you mean..."
"I'm in a good mood today, so you don't need to come with me to the Qianyan Army's prison."
"Then, sir, what do you mean..." Jiang Mu said, feigning surprise and flattery.
"We cannot ascertain the danger posed by the monster in your hand, so we will take care of it for you."
The commander of the Thousand Rock Army said with a grin.
"We will return her to you once we confirm that she is not in any danger."
"Then why doesn't the official ask me my name and where I live?"
Jiang Mu sneered.
"Otherwise, wouldn't it be a bit inconvenient to return it later..."
"You brat, why do you talk so much nonsense..."
Upon seeing Jiang Mu's reaction, the person behind him immediately darkened his expression and reached out to grab the Snow Maiden on Jiang Mu's shoulder...
The other person also swung his spear and smashed it towards Jiang Mu!
"Dog Egg".
"call!"
Suddenly, a cold wind began to blow around them, and hailstones the size of fists pelted the three of them!
Holy crap!
Before anyone knew it, a crowd of onlookers had gathered around, all of them showing amazement at Gou Dan's feat.
"This little guy also possesses the Eye of God?"
"Shh, don't talk. Didn't you see who got the short end of the stick? Be careful, or he'll make things difficult for you later..."
"Looks like this guy is from out of town, and he's run into these bastards as soon as he arrived in Liyue..."
"Brother, watch your words, watch your words! What if this guy finds out..."
………………
"You bastard... you're not leaving here walking today!"
After being hit by hail a few times, the leader finally couldn't bear the pain and fell to the ground, desperately protecting his face with both hands.
As the dignified commander of the Thousand Rock Army, being beaten to the ground naturally made him look rather unpleasant. Taking advantage of a brief lull in the hailstorm, he raised his head and shouted loudly into the distance.
"Guards! Enemy attack!!!"
"Heh..." Jiang Mu revealed a mocking smile.
"You can't beat them, so you call for backup, huh... That's childish stuff..."
"Stop talking nonsense! If I don't beat you to a pulp today, I'll do a handstand and have diarrhea!"
The man looked up at Jiang Mu, but after being hit by a few hailstones and wincing in pain, he lowered his head again and covered his face...
"What's going on?"
Suddenly, a woman's voice rang out from outside the crowd, filled with doubt and authority.
"It's Lord Yuheng!"
Suddenly, an excited voice rang out from the crowd.
"What? It's actually Lady Keqing from Yuheng Star!"
Upon hearing this, the commander of the Thousand Rock Army, who had been knocked to the ground by the hail, quickly got up, straightened his clothes, and brushed off the dust.
Then, he looked at Jiang Mu and grinned maliciously.
"Kid, you're finished today."
"Oh……"
Jiang Mu shook his head and refused to communicate with this brainless guy anymore.
"Low IQ is contagious, stay away from me..."
By this time, a path had already parted in the crowd. A somewhat familiar purple figure walked through the crowd.
"What happened?"
Looking at the mess in front of her, the girl frowned and spoke.
A cold, clear voice rang out, and none of the people present dared to answer...
